Two hands have an idea to give each other matching tattoos. Lefty gets a beautiful eagle tattoo rendered on their arm. Now it’s Righty’s turn to be inked, but he looks scared as Lefty wields the tattoo gun to draw a childishly-drawn sloppy eagle

This cross-pollination IS how new ideas happen. EVERY field needs humanistic thinking, that's why they call PhDs "Doctors of Philosophy"

Alt text for those who need it. This is amazing.
Saved by Stoppard Sir, In 1993 my wife and I went to see the first production of Arcadia by Tom Stoppard (obituary, Dec I), and in the interval I experienced a Damascene conversion. As a clinical scientist I was trying to understand the enigma of the behaviour of breast cancer, the assumption being that it grew in a linear trajectory spitting off metastases on its way. In the first act of Arcadia, Thomasina asks her tutor, Septimus: "If there is an equation for a curve like a bell, there must be an equation for one like a bluebell, and if a bluebell, why not a rose?" With that Stoppard explains chaos theory, which better explains the behaviour of breast cancer. At the point of diagnosis, the cancer must have already scattered cancer cells into the circulation that nest latent in distant organs. The consequence of that hypothesis was the birth of "adjuvant systemic chemotherapy", ", and rapidly we saw a striking fall of the curve that illustrated patients' survival. Stoppard never learnt how many lives he saved by writing Arcadia. Michael Baum Professor emeritus of surgery; visiting professor of medical humanities, UCL r.

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

Dans un pays où tout le monde aurait soi disant été résistant en 42 je trouve que vous êtes bien nombreux à considérer qu'on ne doit jamais utiliser la violence contre l'extrême droite, et que jeter un œuf c'est de la violence politique.

screenshot of a tumblr post from user “wildmansters” The thing that really boils my potatoes about Al in general is that I have been a creative professional for over a decade now and the devil has ALWAYS been in the details. Big and small, I've had single-person businesses rip me to shreds over how their colors turned out on newsprint, and have worked with huge companies with THICK brand guidelines with every detail of their brand identity laid out and enforced with an iron fist. But I guess all of that stuff doesn't matter anymore? Who gives a fuck if this Al generated baby has six fingers, that mom-and-pop shop is still going to use it. That rug from Temu says Happy Thanksgivirg? Oh well haha it's just a silly funny thing now (nevermind that you never would have given a B-grade item from a craft show the same consideration). I don't actually care that the Al Coca-cola ad has a truck that changes size every scene, but I can't help but think about how, if it had been some poor underpaid artist, they would have been laughed out of the building. I don't really know how to put it in a succint way but it just feels all the more obvious how much more grace and flexibility has always been possible but never offered.

However, this is the review that matters most to me
An Ellie’s Pick review reading: “I like Scarlet Morning because it has a great story. The story is about pirates. If you’re into scary things you will probably like this book, but don’t worry it’s not too scary. Even if you’re not into scary things, I think you will still like it because of the amazing storyline. I hope you enjoy reading it.” - Love, Ellie, age 8

re: your last, technically it's incorrect to say that "the heavensuit cannot be removed without killing the user" - rather, the suit is impervious to any damage which wouldn't also kill the user. and because we can't communicate with wearers, we don't have a clear idea of what it's like to wear one
